Update Speculation thread

I think he's more so talking about the audio side of things, for example, in interior view, if your door flies open/window breaks, etc. maybe the cabin noise filter will disappear, an it will be loud inside the car.

 

Not quite. Its about how sound reacts with its environment in game.

Here is the thread: https://www.beamng.com/threads/better-ambient-exhaust-sounds-physics.63837/

 

I mean, the original concept for the Wendover (1st gen FWD Bonneville/LeSabre/88 sedan) is extremely similar mechanically to the LeGran aside from having IRS instead of beam rear suspension, and it probably would be all V6s (sharing the LeGran's engines).

That really limits how far you can change it if it's the same basic architecture and also fullsize instead of midsize. The Devs also signaled they are going after a coupe as they "have enough sedans" in game. It's really a question of being a personal luxury coupe (IE Rivera/Eldorado/Toronado) or a longer coupe version of the sedans IE the Olds 88/Buick LeSabre (the Bonneville was sedan only). I can't wait to see what they decide but I fear it'll be too similar to the LeGran, which is why I desired a more w-body Grand Prix direction, which is very distinct and more modern than the A-body inspired LeGran.

Would love to see a 83-88 Thunderbird in game, maybe with a Grand National inspired turbo V6. But that's very different than anything the Wendover will turn out to be. Also as far as a Limo, I've been saying for years that the Moonhowk needs a sedan, wagon, and limo configurations. It's potential is far too limited as only a coupe.

Two directions the Wendover could be, both Oldsmobiles: Spacious six seater or low personal coupe?

 

A W body sorta car and a car similar to Wreckfest's gatecrasher would be great, but I was thinking just bulk out the Wendover's body to keep it "the Wendover" but at least look less like an obese LeGran.

I feel like I've been talking a lot about how much we need alternate body styles lately, but in the same vein as your Moonhawk comment, I'm a bit surprised they didn't make the Bluebuck a coupe when they made the Wendover a coupe. All the famous Impala's I can think of are 2 doors, I just don't ever see 4 door gen 3 Impala's.

 

Nothing important but the devs put the teaser video in the Devblog, maybe expecting the update be released in the next days ?

 

Mhh, interesting. Maybe they wanted to update the news on their steam page a bit too, so that the people there don't think BeamNG is dead...

There is just one minor special day I can think of. However, this is only in some few parts of Germany and then there it is also limited to certain cities, namely the catholic ones. Bremen is neither a part of Germany that has this day, nor is it catholic.

That day is Mariä Himmelfahrt on Thursday, 15 August btw.
That is really the only anchor point I can give for a possible update day... Very vague.

 

Hey look the devblog got updated with the teaser video.

 

Why only map teasers? Why no Bluebuck teasers?

A n g e r y

 

well... there's one, but that was only the interior.

 

SOMETHING XD
